6 months after an MRI of the lumbar spine, the patient was diagnosed with a dedifferentiated liposarcoma, Stage IV, Grade 4, primary right retroperitoneal area with associated sciatica, back pain and metastasis to the lung and soft tissue. Although the patient's treatment and prognosis was not compromised, this claim was settled on behalf of this practitioner without an admission of liability and as a business decision in order to avoid protracted litigation and potential personal exposure.
